Well-established, blooming-size divisions in a 3.25" pot. Masdevallia coccinea has large, round-flat buttery yellow flowers measuring just shy of 4" tall and 2" wide, held well above the plant on strong stems. Care: Cold to intermediate temps, partial shade, regular watering year-round and regular, light feeding spring-fall.

Masdevallia dynastes. Large, well established blooming size plant in 2" pot.
This is a beautiful miniature Masdevallia. Tiger like-coloration on a flower that is less than an inch across. 2-5 flowers per spike in the late summer-fall. A decent size plant is a show stopper for anyone who loves small pleurothallids.
Culture is like most pleurothallids; cool, moist and shady.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.This plant is a stunner! For those of you who can grow cooler growing orchids, this is a must-have! If a flower can be both dark red and bright red at the same time this is it. The throat is an orangey-red that bleeds out into the solid red sepals. The flowers float 3-6" above the leaves on stout (for a Masdevallia), single-flowered spikes.I've been trying for many years to capture a photo of this flower that does it justice and have yet to succeed! They are the first flowers to grab people's attention in the greenhouse.Blooms in the spring and early summer.Care: These plants like it cool, moist and shady. Prefer temps 50-75 Degrees F, year-round watering to keep moist, high humidity and moderate indirect light.

These have been proven performers for us. They develop new leaves quickly and bloom freely from Spring to Fall. Care: Cold to intermediate temps, partial shade, regular watering year-round, and regular, light feeding spring-fall. Never let the plant remain dried out for an extended period, especially in temps over 75°F.

This little plant produces beautiful mahogany-red flowers that are large for the size of the plant. Wonderfully fragrant, they smell just like cinnamon oil. Flowers late summer.
Care:cold-intermediate temps, shady conditions, and regular year-round watering and light fertilizer.
This is a blooming size plant that is currently in a 3.25" pot and ready to be repotted into a 4" pot.
If you are into Masdevallias, this is a nice, easy to grow species.
Beautiful dark mahogany flowers with a yellow throat. The plants get huge but are best kept smaller as the flowers tend to hide in the foliage on short stems. This is a great Masdevallia for mounting--it shows off the flowers!
Well-established blooming size plants in 3.25" pots. We got our start growing Masdevallias and Draculas and after nearly 30 years this is still one of my favorites! The pictures tell a better story than I can!These are very compact plants, some people call them miniatures. Leaves are approx. 4-6 inches tall and the sturdy flower spikes are generally a couple of inches taller (tall enough to display the flowers nicely but not so tall as to be susceptible to breakage). The tricolor flowers are dark red on the sides, crystalline white toward the bottom and egg yolk yellow in the throat and tepals. Flowers are approx. 3-4 inches tall, tip to tip. Flowers 2 times a year, winter and summer.Like most Masdevallias, this species prefers cool-intermediate temps, moist and shady growing environment with plenty of air movement. They are particular about their growing conditions but if you have the right environment they grow really fast.
Masdevallia yungasensis 'Peppermint' AM/AOS. Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" pot. This is a beautiful little orchid! White flowers with red stripes that start in the throat and converge at the tepal. It's a very unique look. Winter bloomer.Care: Cold-intermediate temps, shade and regular watering and light fertilizer throughout the year.
Well-established seedlings in 2.25" pots. 18-24 months from flowering size.I included pictures of both parents. I have no idea what the flowers are going to look or smell like but I have high hopes!We took the relatively small and amazingly fragrant (this is the "coconut cream pie orchid") Maxillaria tenuifolia and crossed it with the Maxillaria species that has some of the coolest looking flowers, M picta 'Vasher'. M picta is also fragrant and the flowers are about twice the size of M tenuifolia. So far, the stature and structure look more like M tenuifolia with long wispy leaves atop big, round bulbs. Get 'em while they are cheap! Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps, regular watering, and fertilizer spring-fall and let dry between light waterings in the winter.

A compact, easy-to-care-for miniature that flowers in the fall with flushes of nickel-to-quarter-size flowers that smell like coconut. Can be grown in a pot, hanging basket, or mounted.Care: Cool-warm temps, indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding year-round.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
This is one of my favorite "weird" orchids! The growth habit is unusual in that it climbs, producing new pseudobulbs above the last mature pseudobulb on stiff, short rhizomes.
They appear to be monopodial (they're not, they also produce new growth at the base of the plant, but most of the new growth emerges at the top of the plant).
In addition to the weird growth habit, the flowers are bizarre! Many (30-50+) small, fragrant white flowers emerge from around the base of new pseudobulbs. It looks like they are exploding out of the plant, alien-style!
Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
